IMPROVEMENT IN CHURN-DASHERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. LSl, dated May 5.6,1874; application filed Febluary 9, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, THOMAS h'IATHIAs, of New Berlin, county of Sangamon,State of Illinois, have invented certain Iml'irovements in Ohurns, ofwhich the following is a specification:

The object of my invention is to provide for a double churn having onemilk-receiver and operated by one lever and two dash-rods, eachdasher-rod havin g a double dasher on its end. By this arrangement acon/ipaet, cheap, and efficient churn is obtained.

My invention consists in constructing a milk or cream receiver in theform of an oblong square, with a vertical partition, pierced with holes,dividing -the receiver into two square parts. On the top of thisreceiver is placed a well-fitting lid, which is'fastened with hooks tothe sides ofthe receiver. In the lid, in the center of each square, areeut holes, in which the dashcr-rods are placed. These dasherl rods areprovided each with a dasher, placed at the lower end, another adjustabledasher being placed on the same rod a few inches higher up. These upperdashers have a vertical play on the dasher-rods, which play is limitedby the pins i 2, which are adiustable in Jthe holes i 'i'. The series ofholes may be continued as far up the rods as desired, but three beingshown for illustration. The tops of the dasher-rods are each pivoted tothe saine lever, which is, in turn, pivotcd in the center to a standardfastened to t-hc center of tlfe lid. This lever is provided with handles.at both ends, by which both of the dashers receive a reciprocatingmotion.

In orderto more fully describe my invention I refer to the accompanyingdrawing forming a part of this specification.

Figure I is a vertical sectional view of a churn embodying my invention.Fig.. II is a plan sectional view through line .r x, Fig. I.

A and B represent the two squares of the milk receiver, divided by thepartition C, pierced with holes d d. E is the lid, with the iasteningsffand the holes g g, in which the dasher-rods H I-I, with dashers Iand-J', are placed. K is the standard, to the top ot' which 'the lever Lis pivote@` at 9a. The dasher-rods are pivoted to the same lever at n n.o o are the handles on the end of the lever L.

Having thus described my invention, Idesire to claim* A churn-dasher rodwith a fired dasher at its lower end7 and thercabove a second dasher,adjust-able upon the rod by means of a series of holes and two movablepins, between which pins the said upper dashcr has a vertical play,regulated by the distance apart of the pins, substantially as and forthe purpose set forth.
